Abstract

Cyclic peptides are produced by the controlled aerobic fermentation of Streptomyces silvensis, ATTCC No. 53525 or ATCC No. 53526. These compounds are antagonists of oxytocin and are useful in the treatment of preterm labor and vasopressin and are thus useful in the treatment and prevention of disease states wherein vasopressin may be involved, for example congestive heart failure, hypertension, edema and hyponatremia.
